We did a festival in melbourne and it was a great. We got to hang out with Grinspoon and drink with those guys.
What are your tips for attending Music Festivals?Don't get drunk to quick. Pace yourself. So many people drink really quick at the start and it always ends up messy.
Favourite Music Festival? I would have to say 'Big Day Out'. To any band it is great to be able to perform there its an honor. I was happy because when we did it 'Rage Against The Machine' were also playing that year and it was just one band I had always wanted to see play.
What's your ideal music festival line-up?Blink 182, Greenday and if I gould dig Jeff Buckley up, I would have him there to.
Favourite artist you’ve seen at a Music Festival? Rage Against The Machine.
If we were hanging with you and your band backstage, what would we be getting up to?
A Midnight Youth aerobic session coupled with a lot of beer and wine - a nice balance of health and debauchery.
If you could request anything on your rider what would it be?
The object of my affection, a personal chef and a bowling alley.
Give one of your personal favourite bands a plug.
If you haven’t heard of The Veils, you need to as they deserve every listen they get.
What's your most essential item to take on tour?
My iPhone – so many ways to bide time.
What's your secret talent?
I am an amazing Spanish 21 player.
